That was such a wonderful book and almost perfect happy ending. I say “almost perfect” because there are no babies yet. But if there is an extended epilogue coming, there should be babies…just saying.
I just cant get enough of the sexy fire fighters that Valerie has created. Its like she has a cheat sheet to my dreams lol.
I would highly recommend this sweet and very HOT book.
Happy reading!

Chance found something so precious, a mate. He was so traumatized about fifty years ago when he though that he had found his mate. Mia could not except him as he is and ran away into a car and died in his arms. He did not want Hope to do the same. Finally they got together and then it seemed as if fate was trying to kill her. The authorities find out it is her ex. Can you imagine a human in a shifter prison? I received a complimentary review copy of the book and I am voluntarily leaving a honest review.
Chance doesn’t do relationships anymore. He is drawn to Hope. Hope is running from her past, her past comes looking for her, by the time Chance admits to himself that he loves her!

The plot was definitely interesting and well thought out as it all comes together nicely done with unexpected twist and turns to really be excited to read.
A nicely written dragon romance with a solid plot. It was a touching and sweet story at times but with some steam mixed in. I really enjoyed it.

Hope had started a new life in Minnesota, when her boyfriend was jailed for abusing her. A regular customer at the diner where she worked dazzled her on her first day and she still felt the same two years later. Chase, a dragon shifter and also a firefighter, was drawn to Hope on that first day also, but felt she was too good for him and deserved much more. Would winning a date with him at a charity auction bring them closer together, or could her ex continue to cause damage?

A steamy sexy read! It is well written with lots of twists and turns, suspense, danger, and steamy sex scenes. The characters are broken, but strong and great together. It is an emotionally deep read that will keep you enthralled until the very last page longing for more. I look forward to the next book.

This book was oh, so perfect. It was a marvelous romance full of live and passion. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
I really enjoyed this touching dragon shifter romance and the two wounded people that it focuses on. Chance and Hope have both been hurt and they carry the emotional scars and baggage to prove it. I loved the evolution of their initial attraction into love and felt that the pacing fit well with the walls they had around their hearts. I felt so much sympathy for each of these characters. Their pasts were so painful and had done so much damage to them. It was relatable and real and that made it easy for me to not only root for this couple but to genuinely connect with them on a deeper level. This book is steamy, sweet and beautifully emotional.
Rise from the ashes
Such a gentle love story full of denial, danger, and a flame that will burn hot for all time. I have never read anything by this author before and I found myself drawn into the story and falling in love with the characters. I enjoyed how they both had a past to overcome and with the help of family and friends they became more than they thought possible. The author really brought the steam and made it an integral part of the story. I didn’t feel lost by reading this book first, but now the characters of the previous books are calling for me to find out what happens in their books. This book is a wonderful, fast-paced read that I couldn’t put down until the very end.
